Band Councils
Each First Nations community has its own Band Council as its main administrative structure. The Band Council is usually made up of a Chief and several advisors. The Chief and the advisors are elected members of the community or are occasionally chosen according to the Band customs. Members of a community normally share values, traditions and practices coming down from a common ancestral heritage. The Band Council of each community is charge of municipal questions and issues pertaining to health, education, employment and culture.
